The Far Side frequently employed wordplay and subtle irony to enhance its humor. The punchlines often relied on unexpected interpretations of common phrases or situations. Larson would place seemingly normal dialogue in bizarre contexts, creating an ironic dissonance that surprised the reader. This understated wit further contributed to the feeling that something wasn't quite right.
